The maker of an application that would alert iPhone users to US military drone strikes said Thursday that Apple has repeatedly shot down his efforts to get it into the App Store.
“I just wanted to make a simple app that would send a push notification every time there is a drone strike,” Begley told AFP.
“I was thinking about how hidden the drone war is and about ways to play with what happens in the pockets of smartphone users,” the New York University graduate student continued.

Begley said that Drones+ was rejected twice by Apple on technical grounds since he first submitted it to the Cupertino, California-based maker of iPhones, iPads, iPods and Macintosh computers in July.
A third rejection came this week, according to Begley, with Apple informing him that Drones+ would not be allowed in the App Store because many people were likely to find the content objectionable.
Raw Story
Nice. They jacked him around a while first. (Or maybe...just maybe...Apple is a terrorist organization that pushed him to develop a superior application by getting all the technical kinks out.)
Try the Android market.
That was a joke. I wouldn't plan on ANY American market to pick up an app like that. It might sell well overseas, and on the black market here.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
